To A. A. Gould 2 June [1851]1
Down Farnborough Kent
June 2d.
Dear Sir
I received yesterday your note of the 9th. of April, & the small box of Californian cirripedia2 sent me through Mr. Cumming.3 I beg to thank you very sincerely for this new proof of your kind remembrance.— I crawl slowly on with my work: I have published my Fossil Lepadidæ,4 & will soon send you a copy. I shall in a month’s time go to press with the recent Lepadidæ or pedunculated Cirripedes, & I have worked through half the Sessile Cirripedes.— I will keep all your specimens together, & ultimately return them named in one parcel.
Believe me | My dear Sir | Yours sincerely obliged | Charles Darwin
